fullDescription

Bond. Is. Back.

It's 1969, and, having just celebrated his forty-fifth birthday, James Bond—British special agent 007—is summoned to headquarters to receive an unusual assignment. Zanzarim, a troubled West African nation, is being ravaged by a bitter civil war, and M directs Bond to quash the rebels threatening the established regime.

Bond's arrival in Africa marks the start of a feverish mission to discover the forces behind this brutal war—and he soon realizes the situation is far from straightforward. Piece by piece, Bond uncovers the real cause of the violence in Zanzarim, revealing a twisting conspiracy that extends further than he ever imagined.

Moving from rebel battlefields in West Africa to the closed doors of intelligence offices in London and Washington, this novel is at once a gripping thriller, a tensely plotted story full of memorable characters and breathtaking twists, and a masterful study of power and how it's wielded—a brilliant addition to the James Bond canon.

reviews

1. • premium: True
   • source:
   • content: The late Ian Fleming created James Bond, but he continues to live through authors such as William Boyd, who has written the most recent authorized entry in the series. This thriller has the elements of a great 007 story, including evil villains, exotic locales, and fine wine, women, and food. In this case, Bond is sent to Africa to quash rebels in the midst of a bitter civil war. While intriguing, the story is missing the spark that would make it memorable, but this production benefits from Dominic West's performance. West revels in the panache that makes Bond so enduring. He brings to his performance a debonair tone that meshes well with Bond's character. While not the best Bond work, this is certainly a good one. D.J.S. (c) AudioFile 2013, Portland, Maine
